Default Re: Generator question

I'm stumped.
I still can't get this generator to put out. I've installed the new field coils 4 different ways, on each way I connected the leads 2 different ways, which gave a total of 8 different ways.
I used Tom W's method to check magnetic polarity of the fields. Also did motoring rotation check.
I patched up the original field coils, reinstalled them, did the magnetic polarity check, voltage polarity test, motoring check, checked for grounds and shorts.
Borrowed a growler to test the armature for shorts.
Test motored the unit after that, still no joy.
I must be missing or overlooking something, but I can't think of what.
